Break away!
The location was perfect. Building was very quiet and easy to access. Most amazing comfortable bed! Very peaceful environment! The unit had everything you needed. The only comments I would like to suggest to owners is the pots and pans have peeling Teflon, cutlery is very cheap and small, some plastic scrapers were falling off in our food as they were melted down, bleach stains on towel. Over all cleanliness ok, however cushions on couch have some staining and in between cushions dirt and crumbs. Little things make a difference.

Just as Described
The condo was on the water and you are able to watch the boat marina next door taking the boats in and out of the water. The master overlooked the boats which was beautiful. A couple of small details - it would have been nice if some basic necessities were provided like soap, shampoo, paper towels, etc but Walmart is a short drive away. Rebecca was very easy to communicate with. Definitely worth the stay. Thank you?

Perfect location, Beautiful Condo
My husband and I stayed at Gary’s condo over Christmas so we could visit our kids/grandkids. What a wonderful experience we had! The condo is clean and spacious, everything updated, and well stocked pantry. We had one minor issue with the internet and the hosts contacted us immediately to rectify the situation (I only mention this to let you know the owners are very responsive). The view is spectacular, the area is quiet and had everything we needed! We’ll definitely refer to friends and family for future visits!

Property shows exactly like listing. The only comment I would make is that this is the only short term rental with no paper towels, no shampoo or conditioner in the unit. It seems like a small thing to make your guests comfortable.

Beach House 304
The property was lovely and very spacious it was very easy to access the condo without the need to carry keys because it had an access code. It was in an excellent location and very close to a bus route which was good for us as we do not drive. The views when we were sat on our balcony were lovely as it overlooked Newcastle Island and it was interesting to watch the coming and goings of the boats in the marina.

Great Stay and Perfect View
We stayed at this beautiful place over the Canada Day long weekend. The place was able to accommodate for 8 of us (my wife and I and our two children under 3years Old, and my friend, his wife and their two children under 3 years old as well). It was in a great location, great view of the harbor and only few minutes away from the ferry. I gave 3/5 for communication just because it took awhile before I got hold of the property manager for a quick question — in hindsight, I should have called them instead of sending them a message. Once I got a hold of them though, they were super nice and helpful. I would stay with them again 😊

Grandma and grandkids
Grandma lives in Nanaimo and hasn’t seen her grandkids in years! I arranged a trip with my adult children so we could all be together, grandma is 88 yrs old. We had my brother and mom who live in Nanaimo, my niece and nephew who live in Vancouver and myself and 2 kids who are from Minnesota. We had a very special Saturday night dinner together. The unit was perfect. Lovely setting, a short walk to my mom’s apartment, walking distance to all amenities. Lovely views , wonderful windows opening to the fresh cool sea air. Beds comfortable, kitchen great. Thank you so much.

Very comfortable, very clean with great views
I have only very good things to say about this condo, it exceeded my expectations in every way. Spotless (which is really important); very comfortable beds with great linens; excellent Internet access (I was working during my stay); and a wonderful location with great views and access to beautiful walking paths. The hosts left good instructions for entering the condo, accessing the underground parkade, using the Murphy bed. I’m already planning to return!

Would stay again!
I would stay in this space again. There were four of us, and we were able to stay comfortably. Pros: the space was clean and comfortable; parking was great; location was great as some of us came on the ferry; the view was great; central location but quiet; we didn't use the tv's, but lots of options if you have a crowd (as opposed to a hotel room where everyone is stuck watching if someone has the tv on), Also loved the convenience of having a washer and dryer. Thanks for everything! It was great.

Beautiful view.
It was fine. Would have just been nice to have a few more chairs on the deck if it accommodates 6. For future renters if you can’t get into the underground parking we found out if you have 45 in coins you can be in the outside lot for a week otherwise it is 15 a day. Bed coils squeaks on the Murphy bed. Was clean and nice and a good location close to everything.
